I'd vote against the except, and just go with: x = x / y if y == 0 else 0; x = x / y unless y == 0 then 0; Along these lines, what about allowing "if-then-else" expressions to end with a semi-colon? So then we'd have: print$ if 1 == 2 then "hello" else "goodbye"; endl; instead of: print$ if 1 == 2 then "hello" else "goodbye" endif; endl; -e ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
